Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 130 The most correct choice
Hearing Emperor Herris' inquiry about how to save the current situation of the Cangyu Empire, Prime Minister Shulik hesitated for a moment.

In fact, the best choice for the Sharad Empire now is to sit down and negotiate with the Su Family Army quickly, avoiding the Ninth Infantry Corps and the No. The Legion and the No.20 Fifth Infantry Army were also wiped out by the Su Family Army.

However, in that case, the Su family army will definitely demand that the Sharad Empire completely withdraw from the Cangyu Empire. You must know that the Prime Minister Shulik’s family has forcibly purchased more than a dozen mining areas in the Cangyu Empire at low prices, including those with a large output. Gold mines and silver mines, once the power of the Sharad Empire withdraws from the Cangyu Empire, it will be difficult for Prime Minister Shulik's family to keep these dozen mining areas.

However, the Prime Minister Shulik weighed it, and he gritted his teeth and suggested to Emperor Herris: "Your Majesty, according to the strength shown by the Su family army, unless our Sharad Empire conducts a full-scale war mobilization, we will form dozens of infantry regiments and invest them in the sky." The territory of the Yu Empire, otherwise it will be very difficult to keep the various interests of our Sharad Empire in the Cangyu Empire."

After a pause, Prime Minister Shulik continued: "However, the intelligence department of our empire has received definite news that Ouyang Xue, the empress of the Ziyue Empire, has become the woman who leads the Su family army to lead Su Yi, and the Su family army is now preparing to help the Ziyue Empire. The Royal Army, according to the establishment of the Su Family Army, established [-] infantry divisions, and the weapons and ammunition of these [-] infantry divisions, as well as the salaries and various supplies, will be in charge of the Su Family Army. There, there is a steady stream of replenishment of troops, and our Sharad Empire is likely to face a protracted war."

Emperor Herris frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, there are already two princesses in the Ziyue Empire who have become the women of Su Yi, who is the leader of the Su family army?"

Prime Minister Shulik nodded and said: "That's true. In addition to Ouyang Xue, the empress of the Ziyue Empire, all those who are qualified to inherit the throne in the Ziyue Empire's royal family have become Su Yi's women. It can even be said that Su Yi Yi has become the controller of the Ziyue Empire. With the Ziyue Empire's military resources and the mountains of weapons and ammunition in Su Yi's hands, we, the Sharad Empire, want to keep various interests in the Cangyu Empire. All-out war is mobilized."

When Emperor Herris heard that a full-scale war mobilization was going to be carried out, hesitant expression appeared on his face. You must know that in the heart of Emperor Herris, the Noomi Empire and the Inrobah Empire in the Western Continent belonged to the Sharad Empire. real enemy.

Moreover, there are many contradictions between the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, and the Inrobah Empire. In order to compete for the supremacy of the Western Continent, war will break out sooner or later, but now the three countries are restraining each other, making whoever He is also unwilling to do it first, so as not to let a third party reap the benefits.

The reason why the Sharad Empire wants to control the Cangyu Empire and the Liuyun Empire is to absorb nutrients from the Cangyu Empire and the Liuyun Empire in order to enhance its own strength, so that it can fight against the Noomi Empire or Yingluoba in the future. Prepare for the war of empires.

Facing the powerful Su family army now, should the Sharad Empire continue to maintain various interests within the territory of the Cangyu Empire?This made Emperor Herris hesitate. After all, in a protracted war, it is very likely that even if the Sharad Empire wins in the end, it will not be worth the candle.

"Prime Minister, do you have any suggestions? Do you agree with all-out war mobilization?" Emperor Herris asked in a deep voice.

Prime Minister Shulik said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, if it is out of selfishness, I certainly hope that our Sharad Empire will continue to fight against the Su family army. After all, my family has invested a huge amount of money in the Cangyu Empire, but as Sharad Empire The prime minister of the empire, however, suggested that His Majesty give up the interests of the Sharad Empire, if our Sharad Empire and the Su Family Army start a protracted war, the Noomi Empire and the Inroba Empire should be the happiest."

Emperor Herris sighed and said: "I also have concerns in this regard. After all, the fundamental interests of our Sharad Empire are still in the western continent, and the Noomi Empire and the Inrobba Empire are the biggest enemies of our Sharad Empire. most dangerous enemy."

Prime Minister Shulik hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, I feel that it is the most correct choice for our Sharad Empire to withdraw from the Blue Feather Empire."

At this time, the Minister of War Valerian interjected: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, if our Sharad Royal Army withdraws from the Cangyu Empire, what will happen to the Liuyun Empire? Losing the Cangyu Empire will cut us off on land. The connection between the Sharad Empire and the Liuyun Empire."

Emperor Herris still asked Prime Minister Shulik: "How does the Prime Minister think this matter should be handled?"

After pondering for a moment, Prime Minister Shulik said: "Your Majesty, our Sharad Empire's interests in the Liuyun Empire should not be easily given up. It doesn't matter if there is no border on land. Our Sharad Empire can still be maintained in the Liuyun Empire by sea. The interests in the territory, but whether the interests in the Liuyun Empire can be preserved depends on the negotiation with the Su family army."

Emperor Herris frowned, "What does the prime minister mean, is that the Su family's army may even be interested in the Liuyun Empire?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that Su Yi was born in the Liuyun Empire."

"Hey—get in touch with the Su family army as soon as possible! I don't want to see that the five infantry regiments that were besieged by the Su family army in Dingxin City and Anzhou City have their designations cancelled."

Minister of War Valerian hesitated for a moment and asked Emperor Herris: "Your Majesty, the batch of weapons and ammunition that was originally intended to be given to the Cangyu Empire, which can equip 470 million recruits, shall we return it?"

Before Emperor Herris could speak, Prime Minister Shulik said: "The batch of weapons and ammunition must be delivered, and the number of breech-loading single-shot rifles must be increased. We can't let Su Jiajun take advantage of it in vain."

Emperor Herris nodded slightly and said: "The prime minister is right. The weapons and ammunition given to the Cangyu Empire must be delivered as soon as possible. Anyway, our Sharad Royal Army no longer needs breech-loading single-shot rifles, so we should give more to the Cangyu Empire. some!"

On the morning of August 3012, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, Su Yi asked Cheng Ziwen in a study in the Governor's Mansion of Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province, the Ziyue Empire, "What do you want from the Sharad Empire to fight with our Su family army?" What do you think about the negotiations? Will it be a plan for the Sharad Empire to slow down the troops?"

At this time, He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Su Family Army, was not in Kangshui City. In order to encircle and wipe out the five infantry regiments and two independent infantry divisions of the Sharad Empire, He Yunfei personally rushed to Yanling City to take command, and He Yunfei is still in Yanling City. , to deal with the follow-up matters of this encirclement and annihilation battle.

Cheng Ziwen said with a smile: "Commander, I think the Sharad Empire was frightened by our Su family army. After all, we wiped out the five infantry regiments of the Sharad Empire in the first battle, and there are two independent infantry divisions to do it." Take the lead, how many infantry regiments are there in the entire Sharad Empire, not to mention that there are still five that we have besieged in Dingxin City and Anzhou City."

Su Yi nodded and said: "I also think that the Sharad Empire really doesn't want to fight with our Su family army anymore, so I will order the field infantry divisions attacking Dingxin City and Anzhou City to suspend the attack for a few days, and then send them to the army." Let the Sharad Empire show the sincerity of our Su Family Army’s willingness to negotiate. Anyway, the Sharad Army in these two cities will not be able to escape. Not too late."

The news that the Salad Empire and the Su Family Army were going to negotiate was quickly learned by the Cangyu Empire. In a bedroom in the imperial palace of Cangyu City, the capital of the Cangyu Empire, the emperor Zhao Zhi, who was lying on the bed, spoke weakly to the crown prince Zhao Kai. He said to Prime Minister Shi Jian: "Prince, prime minister, cough cough——After the Sharad Empire was wiped out by the Su family's five infantry regiments and two independent infantry divisions, it seems that they were frightened, cough——If Sharad Empire The army is really withdrawing from the territory of our Cangyu Empire, what should our Cangyu Empire do?"

Prince Zhao Kai sighed and said: "Father, the Sharad Empire can withdraw, but our Cangyu Empire has no way to make peace with the Su family army. That Su Yi's ambition is very obvious, he will not give up easily."

Prime Minister Shi Jian followed up and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness's analysis is very reasonable. We had better not take chances. We should gather all our strength and fight to the end with the Su family army!"

Emperor Zhao Zhi sighed and said: "But even the army of the Sharad Empire is not the opponent of the Su Family Army, ahem——with our Cangyu Empire's own strength, can we defeat the Su Family Army?"

At this time the crown prince Zhao Kai said in a deep voice: "Father, the ambassador of the Sharad Empire in Cangyu City, just met with my son, and the Sharad Empire expressed their willingness to give us 1000 million breeches from the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire for free. Single-shot rifles, 40 light machine guns, 5000 heavy machine guns, 75 billion rounds of matching bullets, 20 million grenades, [-] mortars, [-] [-]mm field guns, and [-] rounds of shells, With this batch of weapons and ammunition, our Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire is enough to raise tens of millions of troops."

Emperor Zhao Zhi smiled wryly, "Ahem—it seems that the Sharad Empire is not reconciled, and wants to use our Cangyu Empire as a weapon."

"Father, no matter what, with this batch of weapons and ammunition from the Sharad Empire, our Cangyu Empire has the confidence to resist the Su family army. Our Cangyu Empire has no other choice but to fight the Su family army to the end."
